I like Sam, I really do. But I was expecting a player like Braden Point. You know, a high energy player that could put up offence and play a smart game. In fact, I think most experts would have expected Bennett to be a Gilmour , Barzal or Point type player. The way I see it the biggest void in Bennett's game is the processing. He does not process the game 2 plays ahead like Matty, Point or Barzal.. I am not sure he will get to that level.

If you look at the type of goals he scores (with exception of his 4 goal game), he scores banging and crashing 4th line type goals. His toe drag off the rush is Junior level and rarely works. He does not play with his head up when he is in tight. Personally, I think Janko is a much better driver of play. If you look at the goals Janko has scored he demonstrates more of a scoring touch. I think he will have a higher ceiling. Janko's major short coming is he does not get his shot off quick enough which is common in rookies. Because of his size he does not seem like he is moving his legs al the time.
